Are you ready to take your Norwegian business to international markets? As part of Oslo Innovation Week 2018, Goodwille and our friends at Escalon Services are co-hosting the event The World is Ready for Norwegian Tech (but are you ready for the world). Join us on 25 September and learn all about what it takes to expand your businesses abroad – from raising investment and making the right decisions, to raising your profile, building a sustainable and productive work culture, as well as all the do’s and don’ts from experts and other Norwegian startups that have succeeded in taking their business from Norway onto international markets.

About the event

The event targets Norwegian Tech businesses that (think they) are ready to leave koselig behind and expand their business to international markets. It will be an interactive seminar with speakers responsible for helping some of Norway’s fastest growing tech businesses tap in to & scale up in international markets, providing you with all the insights you need to take the big leap. We will also hear the success story of a Norwegian startup and advice from someone who has done the full journey and succeeded.

The seminar is followed by a networking session where you will get the chance to mingle with the speakers, like-minded entrepreneurs, people and businesses that have already made the journey, as well as experts that can advice you on what to think about when taking your businesses onto the international arena. We will also offer 1-2-1 sessions with all speakers for those interested!
